A lot of people – left and right – are all “how could this have happened?” over the past few days. This infuriates me. The program of Hamas is the destruction of Israel and the extermination of the Jews. They hold to every libel ever issues against Judaism; they believe The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. They believe that killing Jews is pleasing to God.
This is not a sort of people Israel can strike a deal with, even supposing Hamas was willing to strike a deal, which they’re not because they believe they have to kill all Jews and “liberate” every square inch of “Palestine”. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that they only response Israel can ever make to Hamas is to kill them until they unconditionally surrender. Hamas is a modern-day iteration of Nazism…its existence is incompatible with the existence of Judaism. One or the other has to go.
And I saw it. Back in 2009 right here on the blog:
…even if one wishes to suppose the worst of Israel, all stopping Israel does at this point is ensure that more people will die at a later date at the hands of Hamas and then at the hands of the IDF in response.
Here we are, at that later date. But even more horrific because Hamas has thought carefully about how they want to do this. Do not discount the intelligence put into this – they hit Israel very hard. At least a thousand dead including hundreds of Israeli soldiers. That would be the equivalent of killing about 45,000 Americans in a day. Latest story is that Hezbollah is starting to sending death squads into northern Israel. And don’t discount that the Arab street is very pleased with this. Sure, the Arab nations were rapidly making peace with Israel but that was the Arab Ruling Class…the basic Abdul on the street is heir to a century of vicious anti-Semitic propaganda and is just thrilled at Hamas’ attack. Hamas is counting on the people of the Arab world to make peace with Israel politically impossible.
But they are also counting on Israel holding back; to not take that last step. Keeping in mind that Hamas’ senior leadership is in five star hotels in Qatar (our “ally”); they are not at risk, personally. They have their money in Swiss bank accounts. They don’t care how many people in Gaza die nor how much destruction happens. But they are expecting Israel to stop at some point with Hamas’ power structure in Gaza intact. Then Hamas’ plan would be to suck in billions of foreign aid (most going to pad their personal bank accounts) to rebuild Gaza and then on to the next round.
The question is: will Israel stop? We’re going to find that out. But one thing nobody should be is surprised and shocked, nor should anyone be shedding a tear for Gaza. This is what they wanted. This is what the believe. They are willing to die for their beliefs. Israel has to be willing to die for Israel, as well. But there is no half way point – Israel has to either entirely win, or they will entirely lose.

The American Left has become a self-parody. Easiest time EVER to be a meme creator.
They’re going to have to come up with a lot more than “81 million” next time around. Someone should start a pool to see if they break 100 million in alleged votes for “more of this, please”.

You mean like this?
I wish the American media would NOT report 24/7 on the Israeli conflict. Leave the Israeli’s alone to do the job that needs to be done. The constant media attention will only serve to undermine Israel’s effort.
… isn’t that mostly their goal though?
Newsweek exclusively reported Wednesday that the FBI’s targeting of Trump supporters “drastically increased under President Joe Biden,” and that “nearly two-thirds of the FBI’s current investigations” target Trump supporters who are suspected of violating what the bureau calls “anti-riot” laws.
One unnamed FBI official told Newsweek that the primary rationale for the nation’s top law enforcement agency to target supporters of the leading Republican candidate for president was to prevent a “repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.”
Oh, so it’s not really about suspecting that “anti-riot” laws are being broken. Because if they are, the Agenda Media are providing some very deep cover for this. No, this appears to be pro-active, preventative, just-in-case-it-ever-happens stuff. (And BTW, does this mean that now the FBI is concerned about “anti-riot laws”? When did that start?)
So good to know that the state of the nation is in such good shape that nearly two thirds of the FBI’s efforts are not needed to deal with anything but the concern that someday, somewhere, some Trump supporters might “riot”. (And no, a “riot” is not the same as an organized smash-and-grab in a big luxury department store–that’s just “retail reparations”.)
I thought the FBI, while unable to identify the known professional rioters sent to DC on January 6, or how they got to DC or who paid for their travel and lodging and transportation, had tracked down every middle-aged Trump supporter in DC that day (and some who were not) and pretty much wiped out the scourge of felony trespassing, so who, exactly, do they fear now?
Is there currently chatter leading to concerns of a developing “riot” targeting the Capitol? If so, how many FBI agents would it take to keep an eye on this looming THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!!!!! ? How much of this “investigation” involves infiltration of various Trump support groups so “riots” can be more easily
incited“predicted”?About 35,000 people work for the FBI, including 2,726 female special agents and 10,900 male special agents. Let’s ballpark that figure at about 13,000 special agents. Assuming they are all working, that would mean that something like 8,700 special agents are dedicated to watching Trump supporters. Even if each special agent is working on more than one “investigation” at a time, 2/3 of all active investigations are into one single segment of possible, potential, easily contained criminal activity that so far shows no sign of being coordinated, planned or organized. I’ll bet that at the height of Mafia investigations fewer than two thirds of Agency investigations were into organized crime—and it WAS organized, and it WAS actual crime.
We should thank Newsweek for reminding us why we should slash the size and scope of the FBI. I’m now thinking by about two-thirds.
I can never remember the disconnect between Washington DC and the American people being this profound. Both parties are actively going against the desires of most of the American people. I just listened to Nikki Haley and it was exactly like listening to a war mongering, chamber of commerce Republican from the 1980’s. She is the ultimate defense contractor candidate and she is nauseating. Same with Pence, Christie, Bergrum, etc. none of them have even listened to, nor do they care what concerns and struggles the American people have. And everyone one of them continue to promote the tired and failed policies of the 1980’s GOP. Hard to believe
Say what you will about Vivek, but he does speak for a large portion of younger conservatives who want to rethink the post WWII mentality that the GOP is mired in. We have to bring our manufacturing home, specifically our drug and chip manufacturing, we have to completely shut down illegal immigration, we have to secure our border, we have to become energy independent, we have to reform education, and we have to rethink our approach to the foreign policy. We can not solve all the worlds problems, nor can we keep the peace in every corner of the world, and by trying to do so, we lose sight of what our primary responsibilities are and that is creating a safe and prosperous future for our children, not the children of Venezuela or Honduras. Vivek challenges all of that traditional thinking and I like that, but he he definitely ruffles some feathers …. Hannity being the latest.

From the interview with Hannity:
Hannity is am intellectually shallow individual whose whole persona revolves around memorized sound bites and talking points.
That’s an excellent characterization of Hannity, 100% correct. And the compilation of the gaslighting points is spot on too. This mass immigration is coordinated and paid for, but by who is the question. I believe it is George Soros but he could be working in concert with out government. How else do these immigrants arrive at our border with clean clothes, cell phones, and seemingly well fed. Doesn’t make sense.
And if their lives are so miserable and hopeless how do they manage to pay $10,000 or more to cartels?
We also never ask who pays the professional rioters, who buys plane tickets and rents cars and rents hotel rooms and buys pallets of bricks to be delivered at riot sites for the next day’s fun. That gear the guys wear is not cheap. Someone is paying the freight, and it’s illegal, but evidently not on the FBI’s radar as important.

This has been my complaint about him for years now. If he just memorized his talking points that would be one thing, but he recites them, in order, in long drawn-out approaches to what are supposed to be questions but really just turn out to tirades, ending with “don’t you think?”
I’m really happy to have someone like Vivek coming out and forcing people to think about things, and he does have a lot of good ideas. He’s nowhere near presidential material, even if he were legally eligible, but he and people like him are important to the discourse
I’ve ordered some survival food and a water purifier from My Patriot Supply, but I don’t normally pay much attention to the emails I get from them. This morning they have a fascinating compilation of government and media gaslighting.
New Zealanders just told their authoritarian leftist party to pound sand, and I think America will do the same in 2024

So the psychological warfare has begun. Check out this irresponsible headline implying that Israel is the violent oppressor. Palestinians are in the middle of the jihad they hoped for … there are no Palestinian victims, this is what they wanted
Israel extends exodus deadline and gives Palestinians just hours to flee for their lives: Families cram into cars and donkey carts as the wounded continue to pour into Gaza hospitals – but some refuse to leave and vow to ‘die with dignity’
As Bongino said yesterday, “they want death; we should give i to them.”
Did you happen to see the cars these people were driving? These are not poor, desperate people struggling just to survive. The cars, the clothes, the well-fed people in the cars, all tell of a pretty prosperous and comfortable life. And the donkey carts are few and far between.
Nice that they want to “die with dignity”. Too bad they didn’t want to live with dignity. Too bad their goal in life has been to deny dignity to others.
I just wish we had a prominent politician or businessman or both, maybe a presidential candidate, with his own big plane, willing to use it to fly Americans out of Israel and neighboring countries. Or even charter a couple of planes.
At least Florida is doing what it can.
America could really use a President about right now, rather than a demented and perverted puppet
That’s been an obvious truth for almost three years now. But if he were to just “be gone” would the alternative, the next in line, be any better?
Face it, all we can do is try to slow the decline as much as possible and get through the next year and three months.
I implore all squishy House Republicans who like to work with Democrats in creating massive omnibus bills that have plunged our country into $31 trillion in debt all the while worrying about other countries borders, to get behind Jim Jordan as Speaker. We have had enough of the lectures, the posturing, and the post WWII mentality. Time to go in a new direction
I think Jordan has earned a lot of respect, and for good reason. I know the media are using terms like “far-right” and so on to try to brand him as “dangerous”, etc. , but that’s just because they can’t read the room and realize that “far-right” is starting to sound pretty good to people dealing with the ugly reality of far Left.
NO REGRETS – he just helped plunge American into the chaos we see today BUT he has no regrets. FUCK Panetta and every Democrat. I am sick of those motherf**ers. Time to treat Democrats just like Hamas.
